SPONSORSHIP OF TEMPLE CATS AT WAT BAN DON

24 December 2011

Hi everyone,

Devon Zone has entered into sponsorship of the temple cats at Wat Ban Don in Phuket!

Through the Soi Dog Foundation I have donated a 3 month Sponsorship on our behalf.

Some details about the Soi Dog Foundation are below:

Soi Dog Foundation is a not-for-profit, legally registered charitable organization in Thailand, the United States, Australia, France and Holland. Soi Dog helps the homeless, neglected and abused dogs and cats of Thailand. Our aim is to set an example for the Asian region on how to humanely reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats through spaying and neutering, and to better the lives and living conditions of the stray dogs and feral cats of Asia.

You can read further here.

Details on the temple cats can be found here. Then click on the link: The cats at Wat Ban Don.

Thanks to the members that made a donation to our site this year and also to the members that purchased a Calendar. This is a great way to give something back and hopefully we can fund continued Sponsorship of these cats next year.

**** Our Sponsorship for this wonderful cause ends on March 24 2012

Below is the correspondence received from the Soi Dog Foundation:

Hello,

On behalf of all of us at Soi Dog, I would like to extend to you our sincere gratitude for the care and compassion that you have shown in choosing to sponsor The Cats At Wat Ban Don. Without your support, we would not be able to do all that we do to help care for the many cats and dogs on the island who rely on us for their survival and well-being.

While we do like to match our sponsors with a particular animal, know that your sponsorship funds go towards the care, treatment, sterilization, and feeding of all the animals that we care for, whether sponsored or not, assuring that no dog or cat in need is ever neglected. While all sponsors receive personalized updates on their sponsor animals, in order to continue caring for the thousands of animals on Phuket who depend on our support, some of them may have more than one sponsor.

This is for the ultimate benefit of the animals, and is explained in the FAQ section of our website. We send you email updates on how The Cats At Wat Ban Don are doing twice yearly.

In the meantime, you can see The Cats At Wat Ban Don's picture folder at the following link:http://picasaweb.google.com/SoiDogFoundationTemples/AllCatsWatBando...

Once again, sincere thanks from the team at Soi Dog for your generous support. We are so happy to have you as a sponsor, and hope you get as much joy from your sponsorship as all of us do from our work helping the street animals of Phuket.

Best Regards,

Nadege
